Thought we could do a 24hr off road challenge in aid of 'a charity or charities' Use Whaddon for example and insist that there must be at least 5 cars out on the course at any time day and night, night time driving etc, challenges all in 24 hrs, anyone interested or suggest suitable charities (not animal charities though, or ramblers anonymous etc! :wink:) Good idea??

You will have a rpblem finding a course that can run through the night, and Whaddon might not becasue of the local villages.

I take it it's some sort of endurance challenge then?

how about this charity?

www.otw.org.uk

It organises and runs camps for kids with terminal illnesses and also for their siblings.

Re the idea of a course for use 24hrs. It may be worthwhile contacting the MoD re use of their land or training areas. Who to go to, I wouldn't have a clue. Would any of the 'In Green' MC members know of a contact?
